in a world where optics mean a lot, gop leadership types went to a lumber company in virginia. they wore un-washington clothes and spoke from a podium sandwiched between piles of wood. the anti-washington tone was struck about 30 miles from the nation's capital. the picture was different, but the concept's familiar. the 21-page pledge includes calls for repealing and replacing health care reform. and making the bush tax cuts permanent for everyone. it would also freeze the hiring of federal employees in non-security jobs and roll back spending to 2008 levels, before the stimulus bill, before the bank bailout. the pledge was largely free of pronouncements on the social issues, the kind of talk that tends to scare off independent voters, and there was little about what republicans would do about popular but unsustainable entitlement programs like social security and medicare, no mention of earmarks either. marshala blackburn and kathy morris-rogers next. >>> joining me now, republican congresswoman marsha blackburn of tennessee and cathy mcmorris rodgers of washington state. than
